Low effective fault strength due to frictional-viscous flow in phyllonites, Karakoram Fault Zone, NW India
Phyllosilicate-rich fault rocks are common in large-scale fault zones and can dramatically impact fault rheology. Experimental evidence suggests that multi-mechanism frictional-viscous flow (FVF) may operate in such lithologies, potentially significantly weakening mature fault cores. We report micro...
